Scenic
Boat trips and sunset cruises
Seal Island out of Hout Bay, or a glass of something off Clifton.
Forty minutes to three hours, depending on the boat
The things worth building a day around.
Not a menu and not an upsell list. These are the things we build days around, with the practical detail that usually gets left out: how long they take, what the minimum ages are, and what the weather does to them.
Everything on this page is included in the trips we design, rather than sold to you once you arrive. Where an activity is optional, such as a helicopter flight or a cage dive, we say so on the itinerary and it appears in the excluded list rather than being quietly bundled in.

Tell us which of these matter
Some of these set the shape of a whole trip. A shark cage dive puts you on the whale coast for a night; a fishing charter wants an early start and a spare morning in case the wind turns. Say which ones matter and we build outwards from them.
